Tyce Dentist is a month old!

Ethan has always called the baby Tyce Caleb and has told everyone that was his name. I actually thought it sounded good together (Caleb being one of our top 3 name choices) and would have used it if we didn't use my dad's name.

This morning, I was feeding Tyce in bed when Ethan woke up and came to our room. He just loves to poke and smother his baby brother. (A little too much). Then he informs me, "If you call Tyce.. Tyce Dentist... everyone will ask him to fix their teeth." I thought that was too funny! Apparently you don't hear the name Dennis any more and Ethan thought we named him Tyce Dentist:)

At one month old, Tyce:

-usually looks cross-eyed for pictures

-has started his 'ugly duckling' phase: losing hair on top and getting baby acne (happens to all my boys)

-of course, still cute to his mama:)

-has gotten on a pretty regular schedule- feedings at 8am, 11, 2, 5, 7:30, and 10pm. With night feedings around 2am and 5:30am. Not too shabby! I think I can live with this... although I am looking forward to even more sleep in the near future

-is still so easy-going and mild

-likes to sleep on his tummy

-doesn't use/want his binky much (surprise, surprise... none of my kids really liked a binky)

-already trained to go to sleep in his bed without much of a fuss. Doesn't really need/want to be rocked or held

-doesn't nap as well in his carseat already... doses on and off when we run errands

-hence, we don't run errands with 3 kids any more! This could be a long winter ahead of us!

-spits up more than my other boys did- at least it's a good sign that I'm giving him plenty of milk (which is probably why I haven't lost much weight since the first week. Oh well, there is time. Plus I would rather have a happy, full baby then worry about making enough milk. Curves are kinda nice again too!)

-growing so fast. I can't believe it's been a month already

-is such a good baby!!!
